About Marissa
Marissa Myers is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with three years of clinical experience in Louisiana. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and challenges connected to trauma or addiction. She also supports people dealing with issues like ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life changes that feel overwhelming.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. In early sessions she asks about strengths, struggles, and what the person wants to change. She listens, offers clear feedback, and helps set small, doable goals to practice between meetings.
Marissa draws on several therapeutic methods to guide the work. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take committed steps, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and Client-Centered techniques that prioritize the person’s experience. Mindfulness skills are used for stress and anxiety management, and Attachment-Based ideas help when relationship patterns are causing pain.
Sessions focus on practical strategies for everyday life. That can include communication skills, coping tools for anger or cravings, relapse prevention basics, or steps to rebuild connection after abandonment or family conflict. Marissa offers coaching-style elements when a practical plan is needed for career stress or life transitions.
People who choose her will complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin. Costs vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model.
How sessions work
How Marissa’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters and taking practical steps toward those values. It can help with motivation, difficult emotions, and long-term changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replace them with more effective options. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and problem-solving in daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections influence current reactions, which can be useful when family or relationship issues are a concern.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to try methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Over a few sessions they will evaluate what helps most and adjust the plan together.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can fit into a busy schedule, cut down travel time, and make short check-ins easier during a work break. They also allow practical tools to be practiced between meetings in day-to-day settings. Licensed professionals will discuss which ways of meeting will best support the goals and daily life constraints of the person seeking help.
